I thought this was an old-wise tale, but truth is in the photos... Two bald eagles were found on a lawn in Longcreek, PEI, with their talons locked between them, in a death grip. It looks like it has a happy ending, as a wildlife officer, with some assistance, was able to pry the talons of the eagles apart, and release them, without any apparent injuries to the birds. Great photo of the two eagles !

"They were in distress because they were flopping trying to get apart," said Leith Stretch, one of the people who discovered the birds.

Gerald MacDougall, manager of fish and wildlife for the province, took the call and went to see what he could do.

"I had never seen anything like it, where the two actually had grabbed each other in this death grip and actually allowed people to walk right up to them," MacDougall said.

He believes the eagles got into a fight over a scrap of food.
